'Hard Mode' Update: New Game Mode, Desert Biome for Create Mode & Much More!

Let’s unlock the final achievement and enjoy a breath of fresh air in the dunes!

But first, let’s talk about the incredible momentum you've built.

🏆 34 Weeks of Competition

Each week we are blown away by the maps you build and the insane paths you find through them. Thank you for making this community what it is today. Truly, thanks!

If you're new here, we’d love to invite you to our weekly stream. It’s where we reveal the top ghosts, showcase the new weekly tournament map, and jump into some multiplayer games together. See the latest show here:

Subscribe to the channel so you never miss a reveal. We're live every Monday at 8 PM Prague time!

Now, let's get into what's new...

👑Hard Mode

Completing the campaign unlocks the 'Game Modes' section in the main menu. You can access the newly added Hard mode from there.

This mode asks you to survive the "Path of the Fallen" by completing all the levels with only 3 restarts available. Succeed and get your name forever edged into the "Hall of Immortals" leaderboard.

And yeah, beating this mode also grants you that very last achievement.

As the name suggests - this final challenge is not meant to be easy - but if it's too hard, please do let us know on our Discord 😅

🌵Desert Biome in Create Mode

We've expanded the Create Mode with a brand new environment, the desert!

You can switch the environment in the 'Level Menu' at any point while building, even on old maps!

We also added a modular construction kit, which allows for more creative builds with a lighter feel.

😎"Anti-flash bang" restarts

We heard your feedback about eye strain during all those restarts! To make things easier on the eyes, we’ve introduced a new "anti-flash bang" blur effect. Give it a try and tell us how it feels!

💡Assists & Settings

Since release, we’ve packed in a lot of new settings. Our latest update cleans everything up to make these options much easier to find.

Here are a few highlights you might have missed:

• Assists: You can now disable medal ghosts and gameplay hints for a cleaner UI.

• AddedGeneralWe’ve added the ability to turn off auto-cam for controllers. You’ll also find the new "cremo grid" mode - a lifesaver for players on lower-end hardware who want to run the bigger community maps smoothly.

• Name Tags: You now have full control over visibility, transparency, and size for name tags in both single-player and multiplayer modes.

There’s plenty more to discover, so dive into the menu and take a look!
